i had history of sinus, tonsillitis, chronic fatigue (feeling tired even after 9-10 hrs sleep) in early 20s. I had jock itch when I was around 18/19 and treated soon after that.

My sinus and tonsillitis was gone when I was around 26.. by then my lifestyle was pretty healthy, with at least gym 4-6 times a week. I eat snacks/food like museli, yoghurt, chamomile tea, apple cider, No fried food, no french fries

I’m a man at in late twenties now, and only recently aware and discover I may have candida overgrowth, by trying the spit test and having the symptoms. Have not done any blood/stool test. My diet mainly consist of milk ,chicken, eggs, lotsa rice/noodle (in asia) and coffee (2 cups a day min) On top of that, I had supplements to keep me running with my demanding job, which I think one of it was a ‘energy pill’ (consist of high caffeine, ginseng, ginko)

Now the symptons I have presently are fatigue, brain fog, poor memory/concentration, unexplained constipation and diarrhea in the same week, abdominal pains, cotton cheese thrush like on tongue and beneath foreskin.

I went to the doctor to diagnose , who couldn’t gave me a clear verdict and assume I do not have a yeast infection but prescribe me 1 week of Nizoral (anti fungal pill) if I ever think i have it in my intestine. I started to take the medicine and started the candida diet at the same time, by cutting carbs (rice) and sugar and caffeine totally.

Day 5-7 My stool are whole green due to abundant of greens + chorophyll supplement. Passing motion now feel … different , no constipation so far One of those day, my stools made the bowl water .. cloudy with mini pods floating on top (could be parasite or just undigested dried herbs that I ate)

Day 8-9 Finished my Nizoral, did my spit test, it was the same, cloudy saliva at the bottom From my toilet bowl watching.. stool appears to have white stuff ,size of a 5 mm attached to them. Brain fog and poor concentration still haunts me at work with constant mistakes made 🙁 Desperate for a meal, I fix my meal at the sushi deli with a “cha soba, with sashimi” Taste so good ! .. opps, But I just ate *soy sauce and *wheat flour in them

Its so difficult to maintain such a diet in a asia country where everyone eat rice/bread/noodle with greens/meat stir fried with seasoning, soy sauce,sugar. A healthy organic store that sells salad and juice cost me 3 times the price of a regular meal and sadly not filling enough.

I find difficulty to have lunch with colleagues or any social gathering that involves having coffee/drinks/heavy dinner. Starting to look like a freak when I am only eating shell fish, spinach, salad but not pasta, rice . Very depressing and felt wanting to quit my job to start a real cleansing from the start. At the same time, I can’t resume my gym routine and go back to gaining muscle mass due to lack of energy now. I have lost 2-3 kg of whatever water retention, old stool, fat/muscle but I dont like how i look now.

Getting of a caffeine addiction while going on a candida diet and taking anti fungals is triple hell. It might be too much for you. The worst with me lasted 3 weeks, and actually it was not good at all as I should have taken molybdenum.

I had a herbal ginseng chicken soup only for lunch , hopefully is just ginseng, chicken and chinese herbs to begin with After that I experience a tongue burn . at around the tip Feels like the tongue is being scald by hot water. It that part of oral thrush symptoms?

I tried to use grapeseed oil with tea tree oil as a cleansing routine for my foreskin and head at night. Today when i had my morning showers, I pulled out a tissue thin like thread which is at least 4-5 cm long Doesn’t break, looks slimy I google it and seems to be sort of candida rhizomes .

Am I already starting to discharge the fungal already? with the white peanut like in my stool, cloudy stool, … etc

I have no idea what is molybdenum, some sort of metal? Can I get them from GNC ?

Yes this sounds like a candida flare up caused by something wrong in the food. I wouldnt trust soup unless I made it myself.

Could be. A lot of people report this. But it could also just be mucous.

Molybdenum amino acid chelate is recommended here on the forum to lessen die off symptoms.
